Temple hires Frazier

Former Hawaii athletic director Herman Frazier has accepted a job as the associate athletic director for sports administration at Temple.

"Everyone has their own opinion of what I should do, but I think that it's my life. I know there might be wrong decisions that I make and there might be right decisions that I make, but they're decisions that I make for myself."

Michelle Wie
On repeated criticism that she's getting bad advice, which leads to poor decisions about her career

Wie fends off critics -- again

OTTAWA » Michelle Wie fended off yet another round of criticism before her final LPGA Tour appearance of the year in the Canadian Women's Open.

"Everyone has their own opinion of what I should do, but I think that it's my life," Wie said. "I know there might be wrong decisions that I make and there might be right decisions that I make, but they're decisions that I make for myself.

"And I think the only decision I can make is to be 100 percent supportive of myself and not doubt myself at all."

The 18-year-old Stanford student, down to No. 309 in the world, is using the last of her six sponsor exemptions for the season. She needs to win or finish second at Ottawa Hunt to avoid a trip to Q-school -- if she decides to try qualifying.
